what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

You can make this stuff up, real, true, honest movie. This is what South Africa is about. Great movie, great acting, great directing and great cinematography. One to see

This story takes you to a Canoe marathon played in South Africa. As the story is based on true events which provides it more depths to follow. The movie is centered on a Canoe champion, Steve from Joburg, whose love for this game connects him to a fella from Soweto, Duma.As the Soweto friend knows the common life style of his friend from Joburg, but not vice-versa. This point starts in movie at some point, which finally unites them for Canoe marathon. This story starts weaving and enlights the everyday tough life in Soweto. "I am coming for you big man" dialogue and the scene by Zama gives you laugh and and also thought provoking for us in the current world.
